Sink trap McAlpine CA32MINI-CB compact chrome-plated bottle trap 32mm connection

McAlpine CA32MINI-CB compact chrome-plated bottle trap is designed for use with sinks and washbasins that require a 32 mm connection. The trap provides a reliable water seal to prevent sewer gases from entering indoor spaces while keeping a small installation footprint. Its chrome finish resists corrosion and matches common sanitary fittings, and the compact body fits into tight cavities beneath vanity units and wall-hung basins. The unit also allows simple access for routine cleaning and maintenance.

Advantages

The compact design reduces the space required under the basin while maintaining the necessary trap depth for a consistent water seal. Chrome plating offers a smooth, durable surface that is easy to clean and maintains appearance over time. The trap dismantles for straightforward access to the bottle section for clearing blockages or performing maintenance, and the standardized 32 mm connection ensures compatibility with most sink wastes and basin outlets.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial washbasins with 32 mm waste outlets
• Compact or shallow vanity units where space under the basin is limited
• Renovation projects requiring a visible chrome finish to match existing fittings
• Situations where easy access for cleaning and blockage removal is needed

Key specifications

• Connection diameter: 32 mm
• Finish: chrome-plated surface
• Type: compact bottle trap
• Installation position: under-basin/wall-hung basin applications
• Maintenance: removable bottle section for cleaning

How to use

Install the trap directly beneath the basin outlet, aligning the 32 mm inlet with the sink’s waste tailpiece and securing according to local plumbing practice. Ensure all joints are tightened and the outlet to the soil pipe is correctly aligned and sealed. After installation, run water to check for leaks and confirm the formation of a permanent water seal. For maintenance, isolate the water supply if required, unscrew the bottle section, remove debris, and reassemble ensuring seals and connections are correctly seated.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, periodically inspect the trap for build-up and clean the removable bottle section as needed. Use only compatible sealants and avoid aggressive chemical cleaners that may damage chrome plating or seals. Where wall or floor outlet alignment differs, consider appropriate connector fittings to maintain a watertight installation.
